People are sad and I know why
With no chance to live before you die
You get pretty sick if you hafta keep it inside
I want to build a house where an ad don't scream
I want to live in peace, quietly
I want to have a place of love and safety
People ought to live how and where they want
People ought to have respect in front
People ought to get along pretty OK
Chorus:
So get off my dick
I'm building it brick by brick
Brick by brick
I'm building a house where I can think
And have some balance and dignity
I'm building a house where no one can hurt me
I'm buidling a house where the weak are strong
I'm building a house with a real song
I'm using a faith that is immortal
I'm building it with simplicity
And the way that we feel, you and me
I'm building it with what I believe in
Chorus:
So get off my dick
'cause I'm building this
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Brick by brick
Now I'm looking at just a little time
So be it
I want to
be true to my simple heart
And not put nothing else above it
